Food, Shopping And Performances
The organizer’s October 21 announcement names Casa Art and DLR Dance Studio as performers and the Overton Park Shell mobile stage as the performance setting. It lists MyCityRides, Wiwis Hot Dogs, Kalola’s Custom Designs, Matcha Moment, Aldar Café, Sweet Eye Coffee, Sana Sweets and Bikers Against Child Abuse (BACA) as vendors or community participants. These are announced participants, rather than a report of who has arrived.
The Shell’s own listing gives 10 a.m.–4 p.m.; that differs from the main organizer’s 9 a.m.–6 p.m. festival listing. Individual performance times are not confirmed here.
Soccer Alongside The Festival
The announced teams represent USA, Colombia, Venezuela, Congo, Afghanistan, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, India, Mauritania, Mexico, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Senegal, Sudan and Turkey. The published overview describes a 16-team, seven-a-side competition. It does not set out a nationality rule for every player.
The posted Saturday schedule has pool play at 10:45 a.m. and 11:25 a.m., lunch at noon, further pool play at 1 p.m. and 1:40 p.m., semifinals at 2:20 p.m., and championship/third-place games at 3:05 p.m. These are scheduled times, not live results.
